Colleen Wing


Colleen Wing is a trained samurai and martial artist. Able to pull off being a natural redhead, despite being half-Japanese, AND a skintight white catsuit with sneakers. With Misty Knight she is one half of the 'Daughters of the Dragon'.

One of my favourite characters in comics. Colleen has a great, easy to recognise visual which they are of course not going to translate to the screen when she appears in Marvel's Iron Fist (because it's too hard to dye an actresses hair?!). It's a real shame, because the casting is great.

Part of what makes this look so great is its simplicity. Originally Colleen's hair was presented as being very red, but in more modern comics it wavers between red and a kind of reddy-blonde colour. I went for something fairly close to her recent appearances in Heroes for Hire (2006 version).

Even though the Scuba style is only for sale once a year there's not really another chest and leg combo that replicates the line work on Colleen's bodysuit. But if you don't have it, American summer is only six months away!

Character Choices
Power: CelestialWeapon: One HandedMovement: AcrobaticsBody TypeMonarch Small,
PersonalityPowerful.
Originally just a very skilled swordswoman, Colleen subsequently gained some low key superpowers after a mind-merge with Iron Fist saved her life. She can now focus her chi to enhance her strength, reflexes etc. and for accelerated healing. I mostly just used her sword to cut people down, but I think that some of the less flashy healing powers from the Celestial Blessed tree work well to reflect this.

Powers from the Acrobatics fit also, as Colleen is often depicted flipping acrobatically around both buildings and opponents.
